Jessica Hagy is an artist and writer best known for her Webby award-winning blog, Indexed and the best-selling book, How to Be Interesting. A fixture in the creative online space, Jessica has been prolifically illustrating, consulting, and speaking to international media and events since 2006.

Her work has been described as “deceptively simple,” “undeniably brilliant,” and “our favorite reason for the Internet to exist.” Her style of visual storytelling allows readers to draw their own conclusions and to actively participate in each narrative. “Her images don’t always tell us what to think; quite often, they elegantly offer us ideas to think about.”

She mixes data (both quantitative and qualitative) with humor, insight, and simple visuals to make even the most complex concepts immediately accessible and relevant. Her commissioned work frequently appears in various web formats, galleries, books, magazines, newspapers, television outlets, and advertising campaigns.
